1957 Roadtrip

This blog is dedicated to College-  and University-based student radio stations as they existing in the late 1950s.   During Spring break in 1957, Bob Lippert, John Schick, Dick Ballard, and I visited many of them.  I visited other stations through personal connections (Bluffton College; Purdue University),    These stations used "carrier current" technology.  In the years since most of these stations have morphed into FM Stations although some have simply disappeared. 

I took photos of many of these stations.  The photos are posted here:
